I think it's great. It has the magic of their older material but updated for this generation. It does have a similar chorus to Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill - he did write it so that's obvious, but it's a bit more upbeat. All four of them got a solo too. I love it.

The thing is being number one on iTunes means nothing anymore, it probably only sold about 100 copies.

I think it’s definitely sold more than that. Fleur sold 1000+ copies in her first day, and didn’t reach number 1 on iTunes.

The song has now entered Canada’s iTunes chart at #163. Say what you will about how little iTunes has an impact on the charts (which is true) but let’s all be happy that they’re still managing to sell after 20 years.

On first listen it sounds too much like an Ed Sheeran song and you always wonder when he is going to make an appearance but if it keeps the Westlife name going for a bit longer then that is good.. Guess we will find out at 5:45pm today if it enters the charts and where it will place. Not sure personally it will be threatening the top 5 but stranger things have happened.

This is actually fine. Westlife will probably never ever have a no. 1 single in the UK, I never even hoped this would happen for one second. The charts have changed so much since they disbanded, streaming is the key and we all know Westlife fans are traditional so of course that is simply not enough. If they had a few more prominent TV appearances like Norton show, maybe things would have been a little different (still probably not no.1 though) but like this, with only few radio shows in between and no spot on Radio 1 playlist, this is expected. I just hope they manage to stay in the Top 10 by Friday.

They'll top the week on sales which is fine. If they managed to stay at #7, that'd be their highest charting single since What About Now (2009), and they did get to perform that and Safe (2010) to over 13 million viewers on The X Factor.

They're performing it on The National Television Awards next week which is some promo. I think they could have done a bit more, even if to emphasise Ed Sheeran's involvement (such as a duet with him or something).

Cause you could have someone without a belly or a temper
Perfect teeth, hair growing where it's meant to
You know my lips are all that I can hold against you
This is all that I'll ever need, you and I
You and I
